Demand for polystyrene will grow by 2% worldwide and by 10% in Russia.
According to a British market-research consulting agency Merchant Research
& Consulting Ltd., the outlook for polystyrene market seems bright despite
modest slowdown.
North-East Asia accounts for over one-third of polystyrene market. China,
with above-average growth rates, covers more than 60% of the demand on this
market.
However, demand for polystyrene drops in Western Europe, North America,
Japan and some Asian countries, which may adversely affect the Chinese polystyrene
market.
Global annual demand for polystyrene is forecast to inch up 2% by 2011.
In 2006, the volume of the Russian market for polystyrene and its copolymers
grew a year-on-year 22 per cent. Current average polystyrene market growth rate
is 10% a year. The highest demand on the Russian market is demonstrated by the
following polystyrene types: general-purpose and shock-resistant (58.1%) and
expandable polystyrene (29.1%).
The major polystyrene-consuming sectors in Russia include construction
(42%), tare and package (24.5%) and machine-building (19.2%). Analysts predict
bright prospects for the Russian polystyrene market subject to realization of
production expansion plans envisaged by manufacturers and processing enterprises.
